COVID-19 virus can replicate in the infected individual's larynx independently, which is
different from other viruses that replicate in lungs only, eg SARS. It might contribute to the …

Studying airflow characteristics in the human respiratory system is important for
understanding the properties of the aerosol transport and deposition. This study first …

Three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methods were used to simulate a
cough jet that contains droplets. The turbulent cough flow is modelled using large-eddy …

Abstract Treatment of sinusitis by surgical procedures is recommended only when
medication therapies fail to relieve sinusitis symptoms. In this study, a realistic 3D model of …

CFD has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool for clinical trials, with tremendous
potential. However, for real clinical applications to be useful, overall statistical findings from …

Nasal adhesions are a known postoperative complication following surgical procedures for
nasal airway obstruction (NAO); and are a common cause of surgical failure, with patients …

Accurate assessment and prediction of airflow dynamics and particle deposition in the
human respiratory tract are essential for human health, involving inhaled drugs for treating …

Inhaled particulate matter is associated with nasal diseases such as allergic rhinitis,
rhinosinusitis and neural disorders. Its health risks on humans are usually evaluated by …

Nasal air conditioning (heat and mass transfer) is one of the essential functions of the nasal
cavity, which can get significantly altered due to deviated nasal septum (DNS). Its …

The influences of the profiles and cross-sectional areas of glottal aperture on the upper
respiratory airway are investigated using an idealized cast-based mouth-throat model and …
